  1. How do I remove CLEAR COAT.??

    Unpainted fiberglass still has a clear gel coat, which has failed. So the solution is to either have the whole thing redone or painted. Either way it's not cheap.
  2. Unpaid Land Taxes?

    It's a way to get the tax money without having to expend any resources collecting it. Instead a private a company gets to profit hugely off of mostly elderly and poorer property owners. They buy the overdue taxes, tack on huge fees and interest and get the land for pennies on the dollar.
  3. Sales People are Annoying and Evil!!!

    Big difference between a sales rep for one of my regular vendors or one who's selling me something for my industry and those hundreds of unsolicited calls and the few walk ins selling crap nobody wants
  4. Need Help Mounting aluminum sign to glass door

    Doesn't say it's acm. I have done some signs over the years with aluminum or other metal mounted to glass. Usually for a high end look.
  5. Need Help Mounting aluminum sign to glass door

    Suction cups? Is it temporary? I would use mounting tape and silicone and apply something to the back of the glass to hide the mess, either a matching piece or vinyl.
  6. Polishing Bronze Plaque?

    We refinished some bronze letters on site. We cleaned and then buffed with polishing compound. Sprayed with clear Krylon when done. They have held up for quite a few years. I would think cleaning the whole plaque, buffing/polishing the raised letters then sealing would work.
  7. Need Help Opaque bright yellow vinyl over black

    If we have this issue and no time to get other material we will put down a white block out layer cut slightly smaller.
  8. Shipping Signcade Deluxe, boxes?

    We make them out of flat cardboard or scrap coro. Two pieces and then some caps. Or just two oversize pieces and tape tight
  9. Insane deal

    That would be a great deal if in good working order. Plotter alone is worth that. Don't like no returns but if you're close enough to check it out in person...
  10. Large Rooftop banner installation

    Seriously, any holes in a roof is a bad idea, much less enough to hold a banner that large. Yes, you can fill the holes after removing with silicone or some such thing but it's always risky.
  11. Looking for a stud placement chart for letters

    Yes, definitely mark on the backs of the letters & pattern their number (& direction for ones that can get confused).
  12. Looking for a stud placement chart for letters

    Not sure there is such a thing, unless you are lining them up for a mortar line or raised seam We just use common sense based on the thickness of the material, the particular letter and letter height. Three studs on a T may be fine till it gets large enough to need 4 or 5.
  13. Pics of your Thermal Prints?

    You didn't answer my question. But here's my take. The Edge is an awesome machine within it's limitations. the biggest limit being the 11.8" limit, but tiling is pretty accurate and before laminated wide format prints took over the market we would use it for some pretty big jobs. For contour cut...
  14. Pics of your Thermal Prints?

    What is your application and which Thermal Printers are you considering? I have an Edge and I have tried a Summa and a lot depends on the end use
  15. Suggestions Bronze plaque on chain link fence

    I would do a plate on the back, thru bolt, cut the excess bolt off and file down. Then put a cut across the bolt/nut (unless you use one way nuts) and cover with dab of construction adhesive.
  16. Wanting to expand home-based business.

    That sounds like an aqueous HP Designjet, which I am very familiar with. A great machine for posters and interior work and a poor machine for exterior work. You will have to use coated materials designed for aqueous printers. You will need to laminate everything except posters. Even with...
  17. Wanting to expand home-based business.

    Unless you are very handy and tech savvy buying a used machine without any kind of support or warranty is dicey. I have purchased used/rebuilt printers that came with a manufacturers warranty, I would look at something like that.
  18. Gerber Edge Floor Graphics

    Gerber makes, or they did make, a floor graphics kit that included the vinyl and laminate.
  19. Best color to use for a large banner

    Black on white
